Notes

Choose your own adventure mitts! :)

Held the yarns together throughout.

I used a long tail CO, because I felt like it. Using 5 DPNs means no need for markers for the repeats on Chart A.

The cuff looked big to me when I was working on it, but trust Romi. She knows what she’s doing.

For both the M1L and M1R I used knit in the stitch below left and right. I find them easier, and I like the look.

Instead of doing the CO after the thumb I did a M1 on the next row, so that spot on the mitt was a bit tighter.

On the I-cord I did a 3 stitch cord because I though it worked better with the size of my buttons (I love these buttons!). I also tacked down my i-cord under the thumb as well as on the other side of the wrist as the pattern says, to keep it in place better while I’m putting them on.

The mitts weigh about 75g with the buttons, and I have about 32g left over from the 2 balls of yarn.
